Facilitating oral history interviews of people who worked for Rio Tinto Kennecott
Rio Tinto Kennecott Oral History Interviews
Logan Simpson is working with Gary Curtis, a retired Rio Tinto/Kennecott (RTK) employee, to conduct and transcribe oral history interviews with dozens of people who have a history with mining in the Oquirrh area in Utah. The oral history interviews were primarily with former RTK and Kennecott employees to discuss their connections to mining. The interviews were transcribed and prepared for use on RTK’s public history website.
